    Sorry to hear it. What sort of side effects were there?

      Doc said risks were reported of adversely affecting PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

        Oh wow. Yeah, definitely a good idea to stop taking it. I’m glad you’re still with us and I hope you’ve found a good solution!

          Thanks, I’m doing pretty well. But I don’t need a drug with those side effects. I mention this primarily because these side effects appear to be largely unreported, while the drug is being widely marketed for weight loss. People should be aware of the risks.

            I totally get it and those side effects absolutely need to be reported, especially if they are not uncommon.

            I have a weird allergy to some opioids which results in a sort of psychosis and definitely possible self-harm, but that is a very uncommon effect there. Imagine if it was happening to people all over but no one was talking about it!

            Thank you for doing so.
